After seeing Cooltrainer Alan's Smogon Tier run, I began to look at those In-game tiers myself. Looking at HGSS, I saw so many awesome Pokemon, stuck down in the lower tiers. This disgusted me, so I transfered all my good Pokemon and Items off my Soul Silver Cartridge and started a brand new file.
And the team will be, drumroll please...
[animate]froslass[/animate],[animate]hitmonlee[/animate],[animate]slowbro[/animate], [animate]sandslash[/animate],[animate]yanmega[/animate], and Girafarig(animated sprites don't seem to work for Johto Pokemon)
I would have some updates here, but Hurricane Sandy came along and took out my power, so I was completely unable to update. So, here's a brief summary:
Glad I got that out of my system.
1. You may only use Pokemon listed by Smogon as being in Mid-tier or below.
1a. Delve into the lower tiers! You can only use 2 Mid-tier Pokemon.
2. Starters are kinda overused. Use them until you've delivered the Egg to Elm, but then trade it over for any Pokemon from another game. This Pokemon must still be Mid-tier or below. (Used: Snorunt)
3. Since the Togepi egg, while a plot point, is in the higher tiers, you may trade over an egg of any Johto-region Mid-tier or below Baby Pokemon. Since the Togepi had Extrasensory, the replacement can have an egg move too! (Used: Tyrogue w/ Mach Punch)
4. Wipe five times = failure.
4a. Each time Lance is beaten, you have one more wipe to use.
5. In order for the run to be completed, all pre-Red stationary legendaries must be eliminated.
6. No X Items allowed.

Did all the beginning stuff, traded over my Snorunt (Arctica), beat the Sprout Tower and Falkner, took half an hour out of my life to hatch the Tyrogue (Percival), went through to Azalea, caught a Slowpoke (Samus), wiped to Bugsy's Scyther, trained a little, beat him. Then, I went through Ilex Forest to Goldenrod, spent some time getting a Sandshrew (Mudpie), then spent some more time getting a Yanma (Lightyear), who I promptly placed in the daycare. After eliminating all accessible trainers, I beat Whitney, then went on to Morty, who wiped the floor with me using his Gengar. I trained a little, evolved Arctica using a Dawn Stone I traded over, wiped the floor with him. Surfed over to Mahogany, then caught my last member, Girafarig (Sable), after which I barely beat Chuck, beat the Mahogany Rockets, beat Pryce, beat Jasmine, then beat the Goldenrod tower.
